―― After Yang Xi welcomed Yan Zhenqing into the city, he also immediately took him to meet Li Jue, the king of Yan.

Li Jue didn't know that Yang Xi went out of the city to greet Yan Zhenqing, and after figuring out the situation, he was quite surprised, and couldn't figure out why Yang Xi treated Yan Zhenqing so politely. However, he knew Yan Zhenqing's reputation, and he also thought that Yang Xi wanted to win over Yan Zhenqing, so he also gave Yan Zhenqing enough courtesy. This made Yan Zhenqing very happy. The young Yang Xi gave him enough face, and because Yang Xi was Yang Guozhong's son, Yang Xi was very young and a little uncomfortable, but he was still a little flattered by the fact that Li Jue, the king of Yan, treated him like this.

On the afternoon of the day that Yan Zhenqing led the army to Luoyang, Li Siye, Helan Jinming, Zhang Xun and other troops also arrived in Luoyang.

However, it doesn't matter if they come to Luoyang or not, Luoyang was conquered, the rebels were basically wiped out, and when they came to Luoyang, they only came to "tourist", and there was no war left for them. After they arrived in Luoyang, they were also ready to rest for a few days, and after the soldiers had recovered their strength and the army had replenished food and supplies, they would set off to return to their original station, and then wait for the emperor's reward order to arrive.

Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and these people led the army south to attack Luoyang, almost most of the Tang army in the north was transferred south, the troops were very empty, and the troops near Luoyang were super rich, no one would want to see such a situation.

Yang Xi believes that it won't be long before Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's men and horses will return to their original stations, and other ministries will also order them to return, but no one knows whether Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Yan Zhenqing will still serve in the same place.

Now the Hu tribe in the north, taking advantage of the chaos in the Tang Dynasty, has begun to move, wanting to take the opportunity to get some cheap, especially Hui. They are in the south of the desert, and they may go south at any time. Near Youzhou, there are only tens of thousands of horses led by Xuanzhi, the protector of the capital of Andong, and if the Hu people move, it will be difficult to resist their attacks. Yang Xi has received a communication from the imperial court, saying that the current Tubo is ready to move in the direction of Qinghai, and has repeatedly violated the border pass of the Tang Dynasty, which is almost a disaster. When the civil strife subsides, it is necessary to deal with external troubles.

With so many generals arriving, Yang Xi no longer needed to give Yan Zhenqing a separate pick-up to clean the dust.

The banquet presided over by Li Ying to comfort the generals and celebrate the great victory was also held after the arrival of these generals. The corpses and blood have been completely cleaned of Shangyang Palace, where many high-ranking generals of the Tang Army celebrated, and some rebel generals who surrendered, such as An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Yin Ziqi, Tian Qianzhen, etc., were also invited to the banquet, but they ate no taste at all, which was quite embarrassing.

The situation in Luoyang quickly calmed down, and the counties occupied by the rebels near Luoyang either took the initiative to surrender or were forced to surrender when the Tang army approached the city.

All the forces of the rebels also collapsed with the capture of Luoyang. The main reason is that the main members of the rebels were captured or surrendered or killed in Luoyang City, and there are no generals outside Luoyang who can stand alone, so it is impossible to organize a large resistance force.

The world is finally about to be peaceful, this is a fact that almost everyone agrees.

Things are basically calm, and Yang Xi has also begun to slowly win over people for his future.

The ones he wants to win over the most are Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, as well as Yan Zhenqing.

Li Guangbi treats him very well, and Yang Xi believes that with future contact, the relationship between the two will be better. Yan Zhenqing has already made friends with what he thinks is the most sincere attitude, and the other party should be able to give this face. Guo Ziyi, he has to be careful to deal with it, and he must not be unpleasant with this person. However, Yang Xi already had an idea, he wanted to form an "ally" with Guo Ziyi in the most direct way.

One day when the situation completely calmed down, order was restored in Luoyang City, and the three major cities began to slowly become lively, Yang Xi invited Guo Ziyi and his sons to drink together.

Of course, Guo Ziyi guessed that Yang Xi must have a purpose in inviting them to drink, and after chatting about gossip and the war experienced during this time, and touting each other, he sent away a few sons who were very interested in Yang Xi, and stayed in the hotel alone with Yang Xi. The two got along alone, and Yang Xi was not polite, and directly explained what he meant: "Marshal Guo, there will be something very important I want to ask you for at the end of this day." ”

"Oh! What's up? Guo Ziyi was quite surprised, he didn't expect Yang Xi to have something to ask for him.

"Presumably, after Guo Sanlang returned to Changshan, he has already said a lot of things to your father," Yang Xi looked at Guo Ziyi with a little embarrassment, and in the other party's consternation, he continued: "I don't hide it from Marshal Guo, I have a lot of contacts with Ling Ai Guo Xin, and they express their love for each other......

"Huh?!" Guo Ziyi couldn't help but exclaim, he was surprised by Yang Xi's directness, and of course he was also surprised by Yang Xi's "private life" with his seventh daughter Guo Xin. It's just that Yang Xi's words haven't finished yet, and he can't interrupt, so he motioned Yang Xi to continue to talk with his eyes.

"Today, I have to tell Marshal Guo about something," Yang Xi said softly in his voice: "When I accompanied Guo Sanlang back to Tongguan, Guo Qiniang also secretly came to Shaanxi County and came to find Zaixia, saying that I wanted to see me command the army to win a battle. She stayed in the army for about a month, and it was not until she was recalled to Chang'an by His Majesty the Emperor that she went back with me. At that time, I was busy with military affairs, and I was planning the war arrangements for a sneak attack on Sun Xiaozhe's ministry on a snowy day, and I didn't care too much about Qi Niang's affairs, but fortunately, Qi Niang didn't have an accident and returned home safely. But this matter is inappropriate after all, please forgive Marshal Guo!"

After Yang Xi said this in one breath, his heart was relieved.

However, he also saw Guo Ziyi's unconcealed surprise and was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Guo Ziyi already knew about it, but he didn't want to find out with him, so now he took the initiative to confess, the purpose was to be an auxiliary cushion for the next requirements.

"Xin'er actually came to your army and stayed for so long!" Guo Ziyi finally couldn't help it and expressed her surprise......

Yang Xi also hurriedly explained: "Marshal Guo, don't get me wrong, Qi Niang has lived a good life in the army during this time, and she has not been recognized, let alone other accidents. Yang Xi bit the word accident a little more when he spoke, hoping that Guo Ziyi could understand what he meant. What he wants to express is that nothing deviant happened between him and Guo Xin, and there was no damage to Guo Xin's innocence.

Guo Ziyi also understood the meaning of Yang Xi's words, and was a little relieved, but immediately showed annoyance, which was annoyed by Guo Xin: "Xin'er is really getting more and more lawless, while my father is not in the house, and several brothers are also fighting outside, and no one cares about her, she is acting so nonsense, and when the old man returns to Chang'an, he will definitely teach her a lesson." The Guo family's face has been lost by her!"

Guo Ziyi is angry in her heart, if Guo Xin's private visit to Yang Xi's army spreads, then Guo Xin's reputation will be ruined, and the reputation of the Guo family will also be damaged. Guo Xin did this, how could Yang Xi, as the marshal of the First Army, take in a woman in the army? Even if Guo Xin doesn't want to go back, can he send some people to escort her back?

Seeing Guo Ziyi like this, Yang Xi smiled bitterly twice and said: "Marshal Guo, these things have already happened, it's all because I don't want to do anything more in the next year, I feel that staying in the army is also boring, and there are more interesting things to have a woman like Qi Niang by my side, and I was worried that there would be an accident to let her come back at that time, so I let her keep it and personally sent her back to Chang'an." Qi Niang is just curious and naughty, don't reprimand her after you return to Chang'an. If you want to blame, blame me, I'm the culprit!"

"Since Marshal Yang said so, what else can the old man say!" Guo Ziyi finally let out a long sigh in response to Yang Xi's question.

Yang Xi smiled bitterly again, and immediately said again: "Marshal Guo, you and I are both people with straight surnames, and I have a matter today, I still want to talk to you face to face, and I ask you to agree!"

Guo Ziyi had already guessed what Yang Xi was going to say, but still asked: "Marshal Yang, if there is anything, please just say it, as long as the old man can do it, he will promise you." ”

"I want to marry Guo Xin as my wife, when I have privately promised between me and Qi Niang, I will not marry him, and she will not marry me, I have convinced my father, and he also agreed to this matter, but I don't know what Marshal Guo thinks!" Yang Xi said, without waiting for Guo Ziyi to speak, and continued to say the words of the request: "Marshal Guo, I hope that you can fulfill my marriage with Qi Niang, and now I will personally propose to you as a junior, I hope you can agree." Later, he must invite his father and send a matchmaker to the house to propose marriage. ”

"So?" After Guo Ziyi exclaimed, he didn't answer immediately, but stared straight at Yang Xi with shining eyes.

Yang Xi didn't avoid it, and looked at Guo Ziyi, his eyes full of calmness.

Guo Ziyi stared at Yang Xi for a while, but finally didn't say anything, just sighed and said: "Marshal Yang, now that the war has just subsided, let's talk about such children's affairs when we go back to Chang'an1"

Guo Ziyi didn't refuse, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled, "Okay, when I return to Chang'an, I will come to the door in person and ask Marshal Guo!" ――

The imperial edict soon came, and after greatly praising the meritorious generals who attacked Luoyang and all the soldiers who participated in the counterinsurgency, they also ordered the army to return to Chang'an.

According to Yang Xi's suggestion, Li Jue appointed Liu Guangting to stay in Luoyang, and led 50,000 men to guard Luoyang and nearby areas. The generals of all departments will go to Chang'an with him to face the saint and receive the emperor's face-to-face reward.

On the first day of the fourth month, Yang Xi accompanied Li Jue, the king of Yan, to escort An Lushan, Shi Siming, Tian Sizhen, Gao Xiuyan and other captured rebel leaders, as well as An Qingxu, Cai Xide, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Yin Ziqi, Tian Qianzhen and other important rebel figures who surrendered first, as well as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Yan Zhenqing and other generals, embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

The rebellion has been quelled, and Yang Xi knows that after returning to Chang'an, all kinds of life will definitely be exciting! (To be continued.) )
